‘It took a long time’: Alec Baldwin undergoes hip surgery with support from wife Hilaria Baldwin
Alec Baldwin has had hip surgery.
The Oscar-nominated actor, 65, was seen in a medical gown while lying in a hospital bed, posing with his wife Hilaria, 39, who opened up about her husband’s medical procedure in an Instagram post on Tuesday.
“Alec got a hip replacement today…it took a long time,” Hilaria, who has seven children with the actor, said on the social media site.
The yoga expert said she was happy for her husband as he underwent the medical procedure in hopes of improving his “quality of life.”
“We’ve been through so much together… as your partner and as you heal, I so want you to put this very intense chronic pain chapter behind you.”
The latest: Alec Baldwin, 65, has had hip replacement surgery, his wife Hilaria, 39, said on Instagram on Tuesday. The Oscar-nominated actor was seen in a medical gown posing in a hospital bed with his wife
She thanked the team of doctors who worked on her husband, as well as the nurses, medical staff “and the other wonderful people who so generously got him safely through this.”
Alec thanked Hilaria in a comment in the thread, saying, “And you. Thanks to you.’
The couple have seven children: Carmen, nine, Rafael, seven, Leonardo, six, Romeo, five, Maria, two, Eduardo, two, and Ilaria, eight months.
Alec became a grandfather for the first time earlier this month when his eldest child, daughter Ireland, 27, welcomed daughter Holland with her partner, musician RAC, 38.
Alec’s surgery comes at the end of a busy month for him as he recently finished work on the film Rust, the film he was shooting in October 2021 when a gun he was holding was fired and cinematographer Halyna Hutchins came to life.
“Last day on the set of RUST with this man,” he said in a May 15 post alongside costar Patrick Scott McDermott, 14. “A very talented actor and beautiful young man with a bright future ahead of him. My love for you, @patrickscottmcdermott.’
Alec said in a subsequent social media post marking the end of filming that it was “nothing short of a miracle” that filmmakers completed the film more than a year and a half after Hutchins’ shooting.

In the aftermath of the tragic incident – which also injured film director Joel Souza – there was a lot of skepticism about the project, amid a number of legal issues.
Baldwin was subsequently charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter in New Mexico, but the charges were later dropped and he continued to work on the film in Montana.
In October 2022, Baldwin and his fellow producers on the Western settled with Hutchins’ widower Matthew Hutchins over his wrongful death suit filed over the shooting.
